Chapter 220: Tang Tian's Fist (Fifth Update)
There were no substitutions on the Spurs' side, and Popovich kept the three-wing lineup on the court.
This was Popovich's courage, but De Nagro was overjoyed when he saw it.
Popovich's overthinking approach is giving the Clippers a chance!
The Clippers' starters screamed at the Spurs' starters before, and now he went to the starting line to play the Spurs off the bench in advance, and it wasn't a matter of minutes to open the score?
Paul's possession of the ball, the last ball was broken, and he was obviously paying attention to the Spurs' position on the three wings.
As one of the top three point guards in the league, he has a lot of ability and experience.
Stretched out his hand to continue to greet Jordan Jr.'s blocking, and after dismantling, he burst in, and threw directly after seeing that Leonard did not help defend.
This time his shot was undisturbed, but the ball was a little unlucky, spinning around the basket and rolling out.
The Clippers still failed to score!
Split defended the rebound, and Ginobili carried the ball to the frontcourt.
In the face of Foye's defense, he pulled the ball up and made a long pass in, and when Foye looked back, he suddenly pulled the ball up and directly soared a three-point cold arrow!
This time it was very sudden, and Feye turned back to Ginobili who had already made a shot, and his hard block only made Ginobili's shot a little backward.
"Bang!"
Ginobili made a noticeable effort to hit the rebound before bouncing off into the net.
Three-pointers on the board! Enter!
15 to 0!
Popovich's three-flank monster formation worked wonders, and the difference in points was wiped out in a direct wave!
The fans were restless, and the Clippers played a fantastic first quarter, but in the blink of an eye, the 15-point difference was gone!
And they watched the whole process, it wasn't a bad hand or the Spurs' sudden convulsions or something, it was really defended by the Spurs' ironclad defense.
Paul's possession of the ball, he motioned to Foye and Butler to run tactics, ready to use tactics to find opportunities.
Foye took advantage of the opportunity to block the dismantling, and Paul shook the pass.
But as soon as Foye received the ball and was about to make a shot, Green was already in front of him!
The feeling of not being able to breathe!
Foye had no choice but to return the ball to Paul.
Paul reorganized.
Martin mentioned a high post pick-and-roll, and Paul burst in and made a trademark step-back jumper.
Leonard's judgment of the ball was very accurate, and he stretched out his big hand to directly put pressure.
If you change to a normal forward line or even an inside line, it will be difficult to interfere with Paul.
But Leonard is fast, with long arms and big palms, which really completely seals Paul's shooting vision.
Paul was forced to raise the arc of his shot, and the angle was noticeably deflected after the shot.
"Bang!"
The ball slammed into the front of the basket, and Split got stuck in position to pick up the defensive rebound.
The Clippers still didn't score......
De Nagro's eyes were straight at this time, the Clippers' almost all-main lineup didn't have the slightest advantage!
Popovich was also thoughtful at this time, and the effect of this lineup was also beyond his expectations.
He is even already thinking about how to increase the offensive ability of this lineup in positional warfare.
The Spurs' frontcourt offense didn't work, and the Clippers turned back to Paul's strong burst and finally caused a foul on Split and got two free throws.
Paul's first free throw, the fans were moved to tears, and it was the first point after the Clippers came back in the second quarter......
Popovich called Dio up at this time and motioned for him to come on the field and bring down Split.
This lineup played surprisingly well, and he was not in a hurry to replace Duncan or Parker on the court, but began to try out the lineup.
Paul's second free throw also gave the Clippers a two-point lead.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The fans cheered loudly for the home team under the guidance of the DJ.
Paul's score is a fresh start and they're cheering the home team on in the hope that they can bounce back with those two points.
Spurs' offense, Ginobili and Dio's pick-and-roll, he broke through and then gave a return pass to Dio.
Dio held the ball and hit Paul and burst in, and Butler on the weak side came to help defend it.
Dio broke through to the basket, but at that moment, he flicked his right hand and passed the ball directly into the bottom corner.
This move came quickly and accurately, and the players on the court of the Clippers did not react at all.
The ball passed straight to Tang Tian's hand in the bottom corner, and Tang Tian took the ball and shot.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, in the almost desperate eyes of the fans at the scene, Tang Tian's three-point shot went into the net again.
Spurs, overtook the score!
De Nagro was already confused, and the only thing he did was turn around and call Griffin up and switch directly back to the full main lineup.
On the Clippers' offense, Foye had a chance, but he didn't score a three-pointer from the ball!
The Spurs are constantly counterattacking, and the mentality of the Clippers players on the court has fluctuated significantly.
The Spurs advanced to the frontcourt to attack, Dio took the ball in the high position, and took advantage of Ginobili's running position, and he hit the ground directly to Green in the bottom corner of the other side.
Green also scored a three-point catch!
The Spurs are playing with a feeling, who shoots and who scores!
"Toot! Honk! ”
But at this moment, the referee sounded a quick whistle from the bottom line.
It turned out that Leonard and Martin had a conflict when they were stuck under the basket.
Martin was an old ballruffian, and he was holding Leonard on the back of his head with his hand, and his mouth was still chattering.
Leonard ignored him and turned to leave, but was jerked back by Martin.
Leonard has a gentle personality, but it doesn't mean that he is cowardly, and he directly turns around and confronts Martin.
Who knew that Martin was waiting for this moment, and a fist was directly aimed at Leonard's face.
"Bang!"
Leonard didn't expect Martin to punch directly, and he was directly hit in the face, and the nosebleed was directly knocked out.
Tang Tian saw that there was a conflict, and he was about to come over to persuade him, but he couldn't bear Martin's actions at all.
You must know that at the beginning of the season, Ginobili was also injured after this guy caused the conflict!
He's an old man, but after going through the NCAA, he's become a lot more enthusiastic.
I didn't care so much at this time, and I rushed over and punched Martin in the face.
"Bang!"
This punch, because it helped the run, was even more ferocious than the punch that hit Leonard.
Martin's whole person was directly beaten backwards, and one of his teeth was directly beaten and flew out!
People on both teams were stunned.
They can all understand Martin's impulse just now, but Tang Tian's punch came too quickly, right?!
Before they could come to their senses, the referee quickly separated the two sides.
The team doctor came up to stop Leonard's bleeding, and Martin was pulled by Paul and Jordan Jr., and the fiery conflict came to an abrupt end after Tang Tian's punch.
